in Paris, I had to see a same-day doctor & I found one. was gravely warned that, as a foreigner, I’d have to pay 32 euros & I laughed & laughed
a friend there said “make sure you get X kind of doctor, not Y, because the Y kind charges 74 WHOLE EUROS” & once again I bitterly, bitterly laughed 😭

It’s Halloween and it's been a while, so let me tell you my favorite “dead thing coming back to life” story. It’s about me. My favorite dead thing is me.
Not in some metaphorical, spiritual way but the old-fashioned, traditional “not breathing/ no heartbeat/ let’s call it” way.
1/ 25-ish? 30?

turn up volume for satisfying cronches
Babies in costumes are by FAR the best thing about Halloween however a close second is seeing zoo animals monching on pumpkins, truly the caviar of the gourd family

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Gotta be honest - it was absolutely impossible not to laugh. My face hurt by the end of this.
Cackling at @mikeflanaganfilm.com trying to remain composed as Garth Marenghi describes the plot to his script for Bitchfinder General 🤣

This is Dumbo, Mela, Peaches, and Chiquis. They are a championship napping team. Their built-in sleep masks give them that competitive edge. 13/10 for all (TT: brokeboilopez)

I don't know what's happening but there's sports all over my TL. Goddammit! It's supposed to be activism, fandom nonsense, and cute animals. Bluesky why hath thou forsaken me?

The "set aside the art from the artist" thing in this case is moot. Harry Potter money now goes right to destroying the human rights of trans persons. A billionaire who got her ass kissed for two decades got a rebuke and now she's got to wreck the lives of others.
It cannot be made clearer.
If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.
